Why would he send BTC to that specific address? {Is this some phishing method, to trap noobies?} Thank for the information, I will look deeper into this and warn people on other forums too. Discussion of it here which explains the issue in counterparty: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=581411.msg6354731#msg6354731

when and how you get the private key?
the bug of blockchain.info?
If this is ture , btc would be come meanless....
When and how did YOU (LifeIsGreat88088) get the private key? Somebody probably got it from the same place as you did, and then made it public. The address is mine, I create it from the wallet!! Damn it!!

This is dup-R signature flaw by counterparty.

He is usually helpful - many people will just sweep it and do not help people who have an issue.

The address is mine, I create it from the wallet!! You have nothing in your hands. Any power you have, comes to you from far beyond. Everything is fixed, and you can't change it.

Do not import compromised private keys to your walletDo not give your private keys to anybodyDo not use untrusted servicesHow else can I help you? I think this advises cost more than 0.02 PS. No. I do not return btc. I can give you knowledge and experience - they cost more.

I sent 0.0005btc from A btc address to my B btc address.
However, the blockchain.info wallet says the B wallet contains transactions which may be double spends.
And then, the 0.0005BTC was transfered to one new address which does not belong to me.
I tried to send another 0.02BTC from A to B, the same result.
The funds have not been sent back yet.
My funds have been taken?
maybe some one else has access to the private keys. It could also be possible that the Address B belongs to an exchange/Gambling site. They usually keep shifting funds instantly.

Can you tell us which program you used to create this address? Also, tell us where you downloaded it? I sent 0.0005btc from A btc address to my B btc address.

I created the address in blochchain.info very early in 2014, I am the original owner of the address. unfortunately, my address is on the private key exposed list in the thread. and I even knew nothing about this until yesterday. However, it is lucky for me to catch up before getting more lost. So, I wanna say thanks to all of you help me finding the whole thing out. and I still a supporter and big fan of blockchain.info ,xcp ,msc , because I understand we are all early adopters of blockchain technology ,and maybe we should afford the risk of the innovations.

That is huge.... 400+ private keys being duplicated to more than one person. I hope counter measures are in place to prevent this in future. Is this in any way related to the increased reports on reddit of hacked blockchain.info wallets? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Redditors, Team Blockchain here. We take privacy and security seriously and it’s deeply concerning every time someone reports a breach. The top three issues right now are: •Malicious Tor exit nodes •Weak password management •Sophisticated phishing attacks We have been working with some of the top bitcoin and network security researchers to identify malicious Tor exit nodes and warning users against the use of the Tor network in general. Sophisticated hackers are using Tor to compromise individual wallets and escape untraced. We’ve tweeted about this issue https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/522454637115617280 and recommended that users disable Tor access within their wallets. For those interested you can read more about the Tor network issue here: http://www.coindesk.com/torban-monitor-bitcoin-over-tor-attacks/ If you want to disable Tor access as well as take some other steps to improve the security of your Blockchain wallets here’s how: http://blog.blockchain.com/2014/10/22/5-tips-on-making-your-blockchain-wallet-more-secure/ The second issue we see is weak password management. It’s very tempting to use the same password online for different services but it also greatly increases your risk profile. We highly recommend using very strong, very unique passwords. Many community members rely on services like LastPass, Dashlane, or open source desktop solutions that never touch the web to create complicated passwords. Also, one of the strongest ways to improve security is to familiarize yourself with Two-Factor Authentication, which requires a unique and perishable code to gain access to your wallet. You can set this up now here: http://blog.blockchain.com/2014/04/...how-to-use-it-on-your-blockchain-info-wallet/ Over the past year, as Bitcoin has attracted a lot of attention it has also aroused the interests of digital thieves who create fake landing pages, send malicious emails, and even impersonate Blockchain employees to attempt to solicit login credentials. We have been spending tens of thousands of dollars quarterly, even when we were bootstrapped without outside funding, to take down phishing sites. We also work directly with Google, ISPs, and network providers to fight these issues daily. There is always a tradeoff between convenience and security. We try to keep the barriers to wallet creation as low as possible so anyone in the world can create a Bitcoin wallet for free. We recently disabled automatic email backups because email access isn’t hardened enough for many users. To be clear, wallet backups have always been encrypted but if weak passwords were used there is a risk the backup could be brute forced by guessing common phrases. We provide software that lets users manage and spend their own Bitcoins, without tracking, interference or permission. This also means that to a certain extent, our role is limited to educating users about best practices and innovating security features. To this end, we are developing tools that will help users learn about security and audit their own security. We've been blessed with a lot of great feedback that has helped us improve. If you have suggestions, we would welcome them here or at security@blockchain.info Source : http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2nkias/this_is_a_list_of_rbitcoin_users_who_had_their/

That is huge.... 400+ private keys being duplicated to more than one person. What? Take first 10 pages of directory.io All these keys duplicated to more than one person. Take English Oxford Dictionary and create brainwallets (classic & compressed) All these keys duplicated to more than one person. There are billions of private keys duplicated to more than one person. Just do not use them. Voila.

If I read it correctly, OP's problem originated from a XCP bug back in April which leaked a list of private keys, and OP lost his fund because of reusing that compromised bitcoin address. So now there is one more reason we should never reuse our address apart from privacy issue .

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

BAD Samaritan:( I improted the private key into the omniwallet of msc to claim my safecoins invested from the pre-sale. After I got the balance of my safecoin , I found out that it need some btc balance to transfer the safecoins . And then, the whole story begins after I deposited few btc into the btc address...
